Who Wants Mushrooms?

Since after about three comments, most of the threads here seem to devolve into recipe discussion or something on par with that, why not have an audio-visual description of how to cook some mushrooms from a Japanese performance artist?

Aggie well most people lurk before jumping into the fray and so sort of know a little about each character but I’m not sure who all signed up for secret Santa since x brad didn’t send us a list like Rosetta did the year before so I wasnt sure who was new or not

Dave has some sweet cuff links and isn’t afraid to show them off.
Much like a perfect sunrise, pregnant women are beautiful but nobody wants to hump them.
Most Hostages are colorblind or lefthanded or dyslexic or defective in some important way. Like we didn’t know that.
Cyn had a Christmas party with trashcan punch made from real trashcans.
Catman’s kids are demanding their Christmas beatings already, and they shall get them, by Jupiter’s Beard! Last one to call DCF is a Rosetta! Jewstin and Uniball made cameo appearances and nobody cared.
SnowShoe knows that lobsters are arthropods, which aroused the menfolk with her smart hawtness again. The rest of us women calmed our jealous hearts by imagining her falling into a giant food processor.
MCPO’s prostate started poking him and making him cranky so I challenged him to an arm wrestling match, which he won, and gave him ebola virus, to which he succumbed hideously. Congratulatory cards and flowers may be sent to Herself, 25 Rotten Dirty Old Bastard Drive, Golf Course, PA 00069.
Aggie hasn’t gotten a Christmas gift from her husband since 2003, and we all laughed and laughed and laughed at her. Teresa sent everybody 17 copies of her family newsletter from her Commodore 64, totally glossing on the whole internet anonymity thing. There will be a quiz on the contents later and no one will pass.
There was a brief joke thread that started here (https://thehostages.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/wake-up-to-some-power-pop/#comment-448670) on home healthcare book titles that Wiserbud dominated in the same way that fat ladies lord it over their little dogs. We all looked away until it was over.
Then everybody started talking about football and I fell into a deep coma.
Then Patty Ann said she hasn’t had a drink since February and I sat bolt upright and wept. Romita has her crap tree thread up at Xbrad’s place and it doesn’t suck.

I am sorry about my meltdown on Friday. My irritation had nothing to do with the topic of ridicule – I teed that up on a silver spike for y’all, and I was under no misconceptions on how it would be received. I was irritated at what I, rightly or wrongly, perceived as a hostile pattern of commentary from particular Hostages that culminated in that one thread, but that had its genesis far outside of “ground zero.”

If I am reading more into comments than was/is actually there, well, none of us need that drama. If my perceptions are correct, I don’t need the drama. Either way, I’m going to take a break from H2 for a while. My priorities here at work have been messed up for a while, anyway (I dink around here waaaaay too much during the day), so this is the right decision for me on a couple of levels.

Y’all have a blessed and merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Best wishes and blessings to you and yours, and I hope the upcoming year treats all y’all far and away better than the past one!

/I haven’t opened my SS gifts yet, but I haven’t forgotten you, SS. You’ll be hearing from me, although I’ll tell you up front that I am most sorry you won’t get the pleasure (?) of seeing my reaction in the gift-exchange thread. :-)

//I hope this isn’t a seed for more drama. My decision isn’t born out of anger or frustration; I’m not walking away pissed or anything. Just doing a head check and paying attention to meat-world realities for a bit.

Just so everyone knows, Cyn really does make a fantastic beef stroganoff, and is remarkably blase about having strange people just decide to spend the entire day at her house, eat all her food, and watch movies on her TV when she’s trying to work.

Has anyone here ever pondered why we still officially support “separate but equal” status for Native Americans Indiansthe merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

I got; 2 treble hooks, a half pack of Trident gum, 3 cigarette butts, a slightly used length of dental floss, 6 waterproof matches, a dog-eared copy of “Catcher in the Rye”, a Best of Menudo eight track, a lock of hair, 2 “D” cell batteries and a year’s subscription to “Gluten Times”.

There is now a class divide in the Republican party. Mitt Romney, the leading establishment candidate for the party’s presidential nomination in 2012, draws support from affluent, college-educated Republicans. Voters without college degrees, on the other hand, look more favorably on Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin — the potential candidates who most consistently rail against “elites” and “country-clubbers.”

This division is relatively new to the Republican party.

Huh? Relatively new? WTF are they talking about?

Reagan vs. Bush the Elder split along the same lines. As did Goldwater vs. Rockefeller.

The Venn Diagram intersection of “elite” and “moderate/liberal/squish/RINO” is so big it looks like a circle. This isn’t a class split, it’s the same old split of conservatives vs. non-conservatives.

hello hostage types & good fucking evening:
a friend was at some gathering recently where they were telling pregnancy stories… (i can only assume that DiT was there , however; evidently Chief was in the room too):

The room was full of pregnant women with their partners. The class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe and was telling the men how to give the necessary assurance to their partners at this stage of the pregnancy.

She said “Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just take several stops and stay on a soft surface like grass or a path.”

She looked at the men in the room, “Gentlemen, remember, you’re in this together. It wouldn’t hurt you to go walking with her.”

The room suddenly got very quiet as the men absorbed this information

Then a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.

“Yes?”, answered the Instructor.

“I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?”

Hola Hostages. Busy day here in Jakeland with the kids not in skool. Today was doctor’s appointments. Tomorrow, Jakeson gets his braces off, and the medical expenses here decrease accordingly. Give me an AMEN!

I can’t tell if the decision has been made, but I am fine with a 1-day stay of execution on the SS. I have received my package, and mine was received by my victim according to the FedEx tracker.

I know the one I sent arrived around the 9th or so. If you sent something on the 6th and it still didn’t make it Wiser, wow, those USPS douches are douches. 14 days is enough time to get it to S. Waziristan.

Awww, I really don’t want to wait another night. I was just being silly. I’d like to find out what everyone got. And to see if my recipient got theirs because I don’t know. I sent it thru good old USPS.

It’s been raining sideways for the past couple o’days. I can’t kick the kids outside and they’re driving me crazy. Today is only the first official day of Christmas break. I’ve been driven to Kahlua and milk.

Gawd it tastes good

and agile, thank God you got that craving out of my head. I’m really not a coconut fan, so that works

Ok, from what I gather, PJM is having a seizure or three over everyone not opening their gifts, Dave is poking at her with a cattle prod making her miserable, and she’s taken to putting alcohol in her milk to give her enough to endure.

Mr. Cyn happened to be standing near by and I showed him the pics. He’d never heard Baby Monkey before, but now he has. He walked away and mumbled something about cutting off all sexual gratification for the night.

Lauraw, I’m not sure if anyone recognizes it from youtube, but they get sold quickly. Playing with cupcakes is my favorite thing to do but we have been so short staffed that I haven’t been able to do it much.

My daughter told me that ‘baby monkey’ was playing in her head the entire time she was taking her Statistics final. Must have done her good, she aced it.

Works for me. I’m looking at my gift right now. I can wait. It’s a good one, because the box is kinda heavy.

Remember when you were a kid, and you would sneak under the tree and check out the gifts with your name on them, and heft them? You knew that the good gifts were heavier, and the light boxes were a bunch of socks or something.

Mare’s Musings

February 18, 2018

I’ll tell you, I had to turn the Olympics off last night. The gay overload with the gay flags and gayness and the gay skier and the all about gay was too much for me. How does being gay have ANYTHING to do with skiing unless you’re purposefully landing on a pole?
